Hello,

I noticed from my Windows 7 PC that a network disk linked to my external 200gig hard disk does not report the correct disk size. I see the disk size of the internal 80gig disk. This is a little bit of a problem when trying to use the external disk for a backup as I keep getting reports of "not enough disk space" when the disk infact still has more than 50gb free.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

What size is it reporting? Are you falling for the old gigabytes being reported in decimal instead of binary problem?

Check out this screen shot:

The E: in the screen shot refers to my external disk attached to the Bubba2 via the e-sata port.
It is a 200gig disk, but it is seen as the same size disk inside my Bubba. So if I try to run a backup, 24gig is not enough space, even though the external disk has more than 70gig free.

Any ideas?

Anyone have any idea on this? Or is this just the way Sambe works?

Thanks!

Got an easy work around from PA on this if anyone else is experiencing this problem.

Thanks Exctio!
